13 MORE ON USER CONTENT
You acknowledge that You are responsible for the User Content that You submit, upload, post, or otherwise make available on or through a REISCOUT Platform ("provide" or "provided") and through the services available in connection with a REISCOUT Platform. You further acknowledge that You, and not REISCOUT, have full responsibility for Your User Content, including its legality, reliability, and appropriateness, and that You have all rights regarding trademark and copyright ownership and all other rights. Unless otherwise explicitly stated in the Terms, in addition to the other terms in the Terms or in the REISCOUT Privacy Policy, You agree that (a) User Content provided by You in connection with a REISCOUT Platform, is provided pursuant to the Creative Commons License types (see http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses), (b) REISCOUT may set the Creative Commons License type to “Public Domain” by default, (c) User Content that is provided by You in connection with a REISCOUT Platform is provided on a non-proprietary and non-confidential basis, and (d) REISCOUT is free to use such User Content for the purpose of providing You with the associated services, and You grant REISCOUT a sub-licensable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to (in any media, whether now known or not currently known or invented) link to, utilize, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, distribute, modify, and prepare derivative works of the User Content.

22.9 Dispute Resolution
If a dispute arises between You and REISCOUT, we would like to achieve a neutral and cost effective means of resolving disputes quickly. Except as set forth otherwise in these Terms, You and REISCOUT agree to resolve any claim or controversy at law (“Claim”), and although You have waived Your right to seek equitable or injunctive relief, should You attempt to pursue such relief in contravention of Your agreement not to, You will seek to resolve any claim or controversy at equity, that arises out of Your use of any REISCOUT Platform, Service, Content, or these Terms in accordance with one of the subsections below or as REISCOUT and You otherwise agree in writing, signed by hand, on paper. Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage You to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by contacting us. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.
- Law and Forum for Legal Disputes - This Agreement (the Terms) shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Georgia and controlling U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You agree that any Claim or dispute You may have against REISCOUT, or REISCOUT may have against You, must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Henry County, Georgia, except as otherwise agreed by the parties or as described in the Arbitration Option paragraph below. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts (and arbitrators) located within Stockbridge, Georgia for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
- Arbitration Option – Although Section 20.2 regarding Your remedies governs, for any claim (excluding claims by REISCOUT for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. In the event a party elects arbitration, they shall initiate such arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online, and/or solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If we are unable to agree upon an ADR provider then the default ADR provider shall be the American Arbitration Association, JAMS, as decided by the party submitting the claim for arbitration.
- Improperly Filed Claims - All claims You bring against REISCOUT must be resolved in accordance with this Legal Disputes Section. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Dispute Resolution Section shall be considered improperly filed. Should You file a claim contrary to this Dispute Resolution Section, REISCOUT may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to $1,000, provided that REISCOUT has notified You of the improperly filed claim, and You have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.
22.10 Class Actions
You expressly waive the right and agree not to bring or participate in any class action or joinder or consolidation of claims with respect to any dispute under or relating to this Agreement, including in any arbitration.
